Hello you beauties! Healthy oat bars are the latest hit, at least that’s what I’ve seen quite a bit recently on social media. Now add some chocolate to it and a star has been born. This oat bar recipe doesn’t require any oil (as per your request), it doesn’t require any nuts (as per your request) and it doesn’t require any sugar either (you also asked for this). What it does need is some TLC, a few ripe bananas, tasty rice and coconut milk (my favourite is Provamel’s version) and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Now I know some of you can’t bare bananas, so you can use apple sauce instead or apple baby puree (they are the cleanest thanks to no added sugar or additives) The “chocolate” is created by blending some dates with water and carob or raw cacao powder or alternatively cocoa powder. I personally love carob, but know it is not easy to find. Well now that we know all the ingredients, it is time to get baking.

Ah one more thing, loads of you ask where to get gluten-free oats. To tell the truth, all oats are gluten-free, but because most of them are made in the same factories as wheat products they can’t be classified as gluten free. So unless you are coeliac I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
